Foodbank NSW & ACT is a mid-sized nonprofit focused on food relief and is recognised as Australia’s largest food relief organisation. It is based in Glendenning, New South Wales. The organisation coordinates with the Australian food and grocery industry to source surplus and donated products and collaborates with charity partners, schools, farmers, manufacturers, suppliers, and the government on programs to produce staple foods such as breakfast cereals, milk, pasta, canned foods, and sausages. Foodbank distributes food to around 652,000 Australians each month, including about 27% who are children. A broader context is that more than four million Australians have experienced food insecurity in the last year, with the high cost of living identified as a major driver. Its stated objective is to maximize the reach and efficiency of food relief for people in need.
